Who knows the language of flowers? Or a florist?

Need approximately 500-1000 flowers. Price must be reasonable. And with reasonable I don't mean The Fabulous Life reasonable. Any help would be highly appreciated!

That is a lot of flowers, and whoever's getting them is very lucky.

I'd love to help, Shawn, but "reasonable" is non-existent in New York City and I'm not terribly familiar with florists in your area.

[head_psychic]

I certainly hope so! You'd be excited about so many flowers, right? The more the better?

Aww, thanks anyway. Do you know which flowers to use, though? They have like, specific meanings, right? A hidden code. I don't want to chose flowers that mean, uh, "sorry that your mother died". That would totally work against my plan.

Shawn, if I got 500 flowers delivered to me at once, I would probably die from shock and then cry. Because it would be the sweetest gesture ever. If they were from my boyfriend I'd be thanking him big time.

Yes, I do. What are you trying to say?

OOC: Dazzle and stretch! I'm sorry, I love that icon so much. XD

Well, I don't exactly want someone to die, otherwise I'd pick the "sorry, someone died" flowers, right... but the rest sounds pretty good to me! He should totally send you flowers, you deserve it!

A lot of cheesy stuff. You know, movie talk. "You are the love of my life. It's been ten years now and you're still sticking to me, which is awesome and I hope it'll last forever and with forever I mean I hope we can keep this going for another twenty, thirty years, not that one of us is run over by a car during the next few days, which would suck, because life without you isn't fun."

... That's pretty long, isn't it? Do I need a certain color pattern for that? You know, like morse?

(ooc: I know! Me too, it's just so... gah! XD)

*slight eyebug* That's a lot of flowers.

I think you're going to have a hard time coming by "reasonable," for that -- but I will talk to my sources.

[head_psychic]

Yes! It's gonna be awesome!

You serious? Thanks, Anna! That's really great!

[hitchhiker_girl]

Okay -- after some poking and phone calls I tracked down a place in your area that seems pretty reasonable on fresh flowers and if you follow what the Lieutenant said about going to get day old flowers you could probably get it even better.

(This is seriously the cheapest place in SB that my contacts know.)

Flora Boutique.

Okay, you? Just earned yourself a vehicle whenever you need to get through California!

[lieu_murphy]

Go with day old flowers. It's cheaper and usually the florist will give you a great discount if you buy a lot. That's how I managed it with my wedding on a very small budget.

[head_psychic]

Thank you! I will definitely try that!
